second street promenade

All sorts of interesting antique shops here. Vintage clothing, farmers markets, Arts walk, cafes and eateries of all types. The arts district has been growing stronger here with live in loft work spaces, performance venues, clubs, and galleries.

Great shops and food. Little bit of everything. Check out their antique fair and the art walks every 2nd and 4th saturday.

Great event to catch if you are in the area. Galleries open with great art work, a street fair and great people watching. The Latino Art Museum is a great place to see up and coming Latino Artists. Each month the show changes and staff and curator are friendly and helpful. This is a great place to buy art at reasonable prices. 2nd Saturday has a trolley that takes you around to all the galleries and is great thing to do without having to spend a lot of money.

The Promenade by itself, on Second Street may feel sparse compared to regular tourist venues, such as Claremont, or coastal towns, but having lived here through the last parts of it's heyday's, memories of those days always endears Pomona to me, and I'm sure of many others who work and are trying to bring back some of those great times. Its casual, and no rush, If one digs down alittle, the history is just as facinating as any other well known town. Such as "The Vault", now a building waiting for a rebirth, built in the 1800's, one can find photos of it when 2nd st. was still a dusty earthen road. There are car shows, musical entertainment, various foods, and wonderful eclectic pesonalities during various events. Wonderful building murals, easy people watching at outdoor dining venues are Very relaxing and the center to other attractions such as antique shops, theater, clubs, restaurants, museums, parks, banking, city hall, one of the finest libraries in the valley if not the best, and many more attractions, All within walking distance!! Take the Amtrak, or Bus to and from, parking is Free for the first 3 Hours, other areas are free, and Security is friendly and helpful. Check dates and times online or call city hall, some button pushing and they're alway wiling to help. See Ya there!

I was in Pomona about 2 years ago and visited the Antique Row. That's really all there was and now there's a bit of EVERYTHING here. They've really fixed the place up, the shops are little treasure troves and the variety is now visible. They now have a great sushi bar, Joey's BBQ, This little Mexican food bakery and restaurant that's finger licking good, and 2nd Street Bistro which has an delicious shrimp caesar salad. The shops are antique, vintagy, but there's also shoes, clothes and lingerie boutique's, a cupcake store, art galleries, The Glass house, hair salons, a book store and the night life here is great! Clubs and bars line up almost an entire block. If you haven't visited, it's definitely a place to stop by and enjoy!

My only complaint is that the shops close very early, other than that, it was quaint with many unique and diverse shops, from antiques to art. I was pleasantly surprised. It rivals some of the more pricier downtown village shopping areas nearby, like Claremont and Glendora.

Must go to 2nd Satuday art walk. Eclectic artists and food. Overall a good time. Fun begins around 6 pm. Don't miss the Wine Bar !

Many good events, plenty of stage seating for bands/shows. Doesn't get as crowded as other near by town events. great antiques stores with historic backgrounds, some nice restaurants (joeys BBQ, french cuisine, american). Many many historic buildings worth seeing and /or photographing.

This "promenade" is really just a block or so long with an extremely high concentration of antique shops. It is not really a promenade...it's just a street. When we were there on a weekday, it was extremely quiet with most of the shops closed. I suppose that on the weekend they would all be open. None of the shops looked that particularly interesting to us...they seemed to be your average vintage collectable shops.

and a cool barber and a hair cutting school. fun to see the collections, close to Western U.
